Top Of The Bed

Your bedding is more than just a set of sheets and a blanket. Building your bed has morphed into an art form. This overview is dedicated to helping you understand what you need, how everything is used, where to place it, and most importantly, how to create your own personal style in your bedroom. So, come on out from under the bed and discover how to display your top of bed personality.

Discovering What's What

DOWN COMFORTERS OR DOWN ALTERNATE COMFORTERS*Available in a variety of warmth weights to suit your climate and sleeping preferences, the comforter is often inserted inside of a Duvet Cover(2) to protect it against dirt. A high-quality down comforter is filled with goose feathers while an alternative to down is filled with synthetic or natural materials. Make your selection based on year-round comfort, quality, and construction. For more in-depth info see the Down Comforter Buying Guide.

DUVET COVERA must for your Down Comforter(1), this piece will make your bed beautiful and become the focal point of your space. Easy to wash and store, duvet covers can be swapped out seasonally, and used for years to come. They can feature a button, zipper, or envelope closure. For more in-depth info see the Duvet Cover Buying Guide.

FASHION COMFORTERComforters (sometimes sold as bedding sets) cover the bed to set the style of your space. Sized to fit neatly on top of the bed and available in a wide range of style options from solid colors to elaborate decorative prints, fabrics, and textures.

QUILT/COVERLETLightweight, usually quilted or woven. Typically coverlets are more contemporary while quilts are more traditional in style. This decorative layer can be used over or under a comforter or duvet cover, but can also be a standalone covering for warmer months.

BEDSPREAD*Lightweight and decorative, unlike a Coverlet(4), the bedspread covers the entire bed, including the mattress, box spring and pillows, down to the floor. Can be used over or under a Duvet Cover as a sleeping blanket.

Available in a variety of fabrics such as cotton, fleece, wool and acrylic, Throw Blankets are easy to change from season to season.For more in-depth info see the Blankets Buying Guide.

PILLOW SHAMSAvailable in Standard/Queen, King or European sizes, the Standard/Queen/King generally match the bedding pattern, while European shams offer a beautiful accent. Setting the backdrop for the bed, the European Sham is a 26” x 26” square that is both decorative and practical, adding depth and height to your bed.TIP: If you have a King size bed, use 3 European shams to fill the space behind your pillows.

DECORATIVE THROW PILLOWSThe a la carte items of the bedding world, Throw Pillows bring the bed together with decorative accents. Available in a variety of shapes and sizes to add style and texture, throw pillows easily accent and finish your bed.

BED SKIRTSKeep the box spring and under-bed storage out of sight with a Bed Skirt for a more finished, tailored look. Common styles of bed skirts include the straight skirt (modern appeal), the ruffled (a classic style), and a pleated skirt (traditional, tailored look).

What Do You Need and How Do You Layer It?

First things first: What are all these bedding pieces and what are you supposed to do with them? The most important factors in choosing your bedding are your climate and your sleeping preference. Layering is about personal style and is easy to change with the seasons. Think of assembling your bed in layers:

Second Layer: You can then add a Quilt/Coverlet(4) or Bedspread(5) folded over for another layer of style. (Some prefer to place this layer under the comforter for extra warmth.)

Third Layer: A Blanket or Throw Blanket(6) should be folded across the bottom of the bed to provide greater warmth when needed and to add more style to your bed’s look.

Fourth Layer: Top off your bed with a selection of Pillow Shams(8) and Decorative Throw Pillows(9) to give your bed the finishing touches. Complete the bed with a Bed Skirt(10) for a more tailored look.
